About Hyphenate

At Hyphenate, we’re building AI agents purpose-built for accounting teams at high-growth and enterprise companies. We automate and orchestrate high-effort accounting & financial reporting – helping teams get work done 10x faster with fewer manual excel juggling and audit-ready accuracy.

Under the hood, Hyphenate layers verifiable, AI sub-ledgers on top of existing ERPs to deliver reliable automation without requiring system migration.

We’ve raised one of the largest seed rounds in the accounting category from tier-1 VCs and experienced CFOs and Controllers who believe accounting automation must be accurate, audit-ready, and built by people who understand real close environments.

Hyphenate is built by accountants and engineers working together – not generic, black-box automation.

About the Role

Hyphenate is hiring an Accounting Solutions Consultant to sit at the intersection of accounting operations, customer workflow discovery, and solution implementation.

This is a hybrid role by design. You will be deeply involved in pre-sale discovery of a company’s current accounting processes, and you will also help translate our AI agents into a production-ready solution. At our stage, the same person must understand both what it actually takes to close the books correctly & how to map and explain AI-driven automation to real accounting workflows – and this role owns that bridge.

This role is built for someone who has lived in the customer facing roles in Public Accounting/Technical Advisory as well as faced month end close challenges in Private Accounting.

What You’ll Do

Pre-Sale Accounting Discovery

Partner with Account Executives to understand customers’ end-to-end GL and sub-ledger workflows, not just surface-level processes

Lead accounting-focused discovery sessions with Controllers, Accounting Managers, and Finance leaders

Evaluate ERP configurations, close processes, and accounting policies to determine:

What workflows can be automated cleanly

What requires configuration or sequencing

What should be explicitly out of scope

Define the minimum set of data access or accounting artifacts (e.g., NetSuite access, reconciliations, schedules) required to confidently scope functionality and pricing

Help shape solution design and pricing by balancing accounting accuracy, controls, and delivery feasibility

Solution Design & Customer Implementation

Translate real-world accounting workflows into practical, automated solutions using Hyphenate

Configure Hyphenate to align with customer accounting policies, ERP structures, and close controls

Support pilots and early implementations with a strong focus on:

Accuracy

Reconciliation integrity

Audit readiness

Partner with Engineering and Accounting team to clarify accounting logic, edge cases, and expected outputs

Ensure what was established in pre-sale discovery is delivered correctly in production

Product & Internal Impact

Act as the accounting authority internally, collaborating with Product and Engineering to influence roadmap decisions

Surface recurring accounting patterns, edge cases, and constraints observed across customers

Help define discovery, scoping, and implementation playbooks as Hyphenate scales

What We’re Looking For

The Ideal Background

7–10+ years of accounting experience (either of Public + Private Accounting, Technical advisory + Private Accounting or Private Accounting + Solutions)

You can speak fluently to both the accounting detail and the technology that supports it

Technical & Domain Skills

Hands-on experience with multiple enterprise ERP systems, ideally at least a couple of:

NetSuite

Sage Intacct

Microsoft Dynamics 365

Oracle Fusion

Experience working with close management tools such as FloQast or BlackLine

Practical exposure to sub-ledgers such as

Revenue recognition (ASC 606)

Fixed assets

Prepaids / amortization

Accruals & more

Strong understanding of accounting controls and audit considerations

Advanced Excel skills (large datasets, reconciliations, pivots, complex formulas)

Working Style

Comfortable leading discovery and demo sessions with Controllers, Accounting Managers, and Finance leaders
